Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch is likely to have same the squad of players to pick from against Bournemouth as at Anfield last weekend. The Whites defeated Liverpool 2-1 seven days ago and with Luis Sinisterra now set to be missing until after the World Cup, Marsch could stick with the same 20.
Illan Meslier will be looking to pick up where he left off after a man of the match performance against Liverpool, with Rasmus Kristense, Robin Koch, Liam Cooper and Pascal Struijk all keeping their places in defence. Should any late injury issues arise at the back Leo Hjelde will be ready to step in on the bench after coming through 90 minutes for the U21s against Crewe Alexandra on Tuesday unscathed.
Tyler Adams and Marc Roca are almost certain to partner each other in midfield again, with Sam Greenwood and Mateusz Klich on the bench in Adam Forshaw's continued absence. Brenden Aaronson, Jack Harrison and Crysencio Summerville were the three chosen behind the striker last weekend, and given Sinisterra's injury setback, Marsch is likely to go with that trio again.

That said, Wilfried Gnonto had a very positive impact as a substitute on his Leeds debut at Anfield and will most certainly be ready if called upon. Rodrigo Moreno has started and scored in each of the last two matches, meaning it is the Spaniard who is likely to receive the nod leading the line once again.
Patrick Bamford and Joe Gelhardt will have to settle for places on the bench unless Marsch opts for a different option up front. Here is what the full squad is likely to look like.
Full squad: Meslier, Robles, Ayling, Kristensen, Koch, Llorente, Cooper, Struijk, Firpo, Adams, Roca, Greenwood, Klich, Summerville, Aaronson, Harrison, Gnonto, Bamford, Rodrigo, Gelhardt
